Answer:
a) Ffloor = 616.56[N]
b) Ffloor = 484.16 [N]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we must first make a free body diagram. In this free body diagram include forces, as well as acceleration.
Then after the free body diagram, we perform a force analysis by means of Newton's second law, where the upward forces and even the upward acceleration will be taken as positive.
ΣF = m*a
where:
F = force [N] (units of Newtons]
m = mass [kg]
a = acceleration [m/s²]
g = gravity acceleration = 9,81 [m/s²]
a)
[tex]F_{floor} -m*g = m*a[/tex]
[tex]F_{floor} -(56*9.81)=56*1.2\\F_{floor}= 616.56[N][/tex]
b) Using Newton's second law we have.
[tex]F_{floor}-m*g= -m*a\\F_{floor}=-m*a+m*g\\F_{floor} = -(56*1.2) + (56*9.81)\\F_{floor} = 484.16 [N][/tex]
